The rice played an important part in the meal because the main dishes were quite rich. If you decide to try these recipes you will likely want to eat them as we did; small amounts of the main dishes with lots of rice.
This dinner was very easy to
prepare, mainly because the recipes did not involve a lot of ingredients that
needed to be chopped up; a big bonus for those who like to relax whilst
cooking.
The Pork was especially easy and we think it would
make a great dinner party dish that will suit the cook who wants to create
something a little bit special but still have time to spend with their guests.
The Green Papaya dish was a
surprise as it combined several seemingly opposing food flavours that blended
perfectly to make a very fragrant & beautiful dish.
